answer text <p>The FCDO routinely updates our travel advice, which provides guidance for British nationals on staying safe abroad, including in Turkey. Our travel advice notes that no travel can be guaranteed safe and in Turkey terrorists may target places visited by foreigners, including places of worship.

We support the rights of all minority groups in Turkey, including Christians and Jews.</p> more like this
